About this Author

Jenny Deam came to the Houston Chronicle in March 2015 from Denver, trading thin air for thick. She writes about the business of health care and has been nationally recognized for her coverage of how insurance practices and the shifting health care landscape affect the people of Texas. Prior to joining the Chronicle she was a special correspondent for the Los Angeles Times based in Denver where she wrote about school shootings, the Aurora movie massacre and its aftermath, and the early days of Colorado’s legalization of marijuana. She has been a reporter for the Denver Post, the Tampa Bay Times and the Kansas City Star. She has written for a wide range of regional and national magazines, including an award-winning investigation into how health insurers charge women more than men for the same coverage or deny them altogether, and a profile of the reluctant journey of a Virginia Tech survivor to become a national voice for gun law reform. She is a graduate of Washburn University
